Chapter 1753: Rebellion 9

Drip, fusion successful.

Current new ability: Void Distortion, Space Adaptation Enhancement.

Void Distortion: This effect is a passive effect. After receiving an attack, the space distortion effect is triggered according to the attack's strength. Upon entering the space distortion state, one randomly Blinks to any position within the field of view.

The stronger the attack received, the farther the teleportation distance.

Note: You can slightly modify the final landing point with mental power, but if you continuously trigger the space distortion effect in a short time, you will suffer the matter-tearing effect, which may cause death and disintegration during teleportation.

Space Adaptation Enhancement: You are already familiar with the power of the Void, slightly reducing the damage and effects that Void/Space inflicts on you (including any nature of space rules).

Note: When moving within the Void Rule, you will tend to move closer to the Void?

A purple light flashed and vanished.

Inside the Exchange Point, Lin An let out a light breath.

Seeing him casually condense a spiritual energy shockwave and smash it onto himself, in an instant, a layer of distorted light suddenly appeared around his body.

It was as if he were wrapped in countless mirrors; with a slight buzzing sound, the whole person instantly moved to a distance of one meter away.

Feeling a slight sting from his body, Lin An raised his eyebrows, and a smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of his mouth.

Very good.

After integrating two space rules into the Eternal Body, he finally had his own space rule.

Although... it's just a passive effect, the gap from a true space rule is still large. But for Lin An, this is already a great enhancement.

With space ability, at least he won't have zero capital to resist when facing space imprisonment.

Passive trigger, landing point random...

The good news is it's essentially zero-cooldown Blink, and I don't need to react myself.

The bad news is I don't know where I'll be teleported to, and overuse can cause instant death on the spot.

Looking back at the place where he had previously stood, Lin An immediately noticed that a cluster of dark purple energy residue seemed to have appeared on the ground.

It was like the leftover embers of burned fuel; the Void power with a slight corrosive effect melted the ground into an inconspicuous small pit.

After receiving an attack, are the various energies received converted into Void Power, which then propels the teleportation?

Overuse leads to death, similar to rocket overload?

This point is somewhat similar to the Hamster Shield...

He pondered briefly.

After recording this information, Lin An simply kept attacking himself with various means to test the Void transmission effect as quickly as possible.

As the rules he came into contact with increased, and the rules he mastered also increased, Lin An clearly felt that he seemed to have found some kind of connection.

Many rules are similar; although they appear myriad and strange, essentially they seem to evolve from a certain fundamental rule.

And powerful rules are even more composed of multiple fundamental rules combined.

For example, the Omniscient Domain of the Silver Star Level, if broken down and studied, is a fusion of rules such as Electromagnetic Induction Ability, Soul Probe Ability, Super-effective Thinking, and Cellular Control.

It is like a precision machine: various detection abilities provide combat information, strong mental power and time effects provide sufficient computing power, perfect bodily control and power usage execute extremely complex combat methods.

Only when these three are combined does an Omniscient Domain far surpassing ordinary rules come into being.

So, the path of rules actually has two ways.

One is the most common, and also the path taken by those War Star Levels outside.

One rule followed to death, without touching any branches, without considering any new abilities.

Using a game as an analogy... no, I should say that starting from First Level, many people are like this prototype.

Spark Technique-Fireball Technique-Fire Dragon-Raging Flames Overflowing Heaven... Fire Element Control, Thermal Energy Control, High Temperature High Entropy...

Thus repeatedly, layer upon layer mindlessly stacked...

Upon reaching the Fifth Stage Peak, essentially it's just mastering a higher-temperature flame.

And the other path...

Lin An's figure instantly stopped; he looked thoughtfully at the Void traces left behind him.

The other path is the one Chu An helped me choose.

Directly from the start, aiming to master the fundamental rule, although early combat power doesn't show, and one even has to figure out how to use it oneself.

But as understanding of rules increases, the abilities mastered also increase.

Finally, upon reaching a certain critical point, all mastered abilities gather together, forming a qualitative change.

Still taking the Omniscient Domain as an example, theoretically I could also rely solely on the Electromagnetic Rule to gather the needed prerequisite abilities. But time-wise... it would take a very long time...

While contemplating the essence of rules, Lin An silently stretched out his hands.

In an instant, a cyan-blue light representing the Electromagnetic Rule appeared on his right hand. Immediately after, a silver-white glow representing the Eternal Body enveloped his left hand.

One blue, one white, they reflected and complemented each other.

Within these two rules, other colors also filled and permeated.

At a glance, it actually gave a feeling of dazzling bewilderment, as if beholding the splendor of the star sea.

Gradually condensing Void Power behind him, Lin An now appeared as if he grasped a triune dark entity.

I...

Have I actually embarked on the third path?

By exploiting the 'loophole' of Cain's Blade and the Ameba Primordial Liquid, I can both plunder others' rules to forcibly gain Rule Ability, and also master the most essential Four Great Forces, acting as an umbilical cord to link other rules together.

The advantage is that combat power conversion is extremely fast; theoretically I can, at low level, forcibly combine various complex Rule Abilities that only high-level individuals can master.

The disadvantage is...

Lin An sighed.

The disadvantage is that upgrading is too slow, to the point that nobody dares to imagine he is still Fourth Stage now.

Who would dare imagine? A Fourth Stage killing so many Fifth Stages, hundreds of Fourth Stage Peaks, consuming enough resources for anyone to advance from zero to Star-Destroying Level. And he, Lin An, is still a pitiful Fourth Stage Peak.

To some extent, whether it's people on Earth or fugitives.

Their reason for targeting Lin An isn't actually wrong.

He, Lin An, is indeed a gold‑swallowing monster, draining vast amounts of 'civilization's' blood by his own power.

Even Lin An himself can imagine that the path he walks will only become more extreme, and the resources consumed will only grow larger. If he wants to become a true Star‑Shattering Level, the amount of Fifth Stage he would consume could probably circle the Earth.

"I can't worry about that anymore."

"Power always comes at a price."

"Civilization destroyer... Star‑Destroying... Star‑Shattering"

A strange light laugh rang out; for some reason, Lin An once again felt that the system's naming was actually quite fitting.

Fifteen minutes later.

After again damaging part of the Black Lock's operation.

Soon, a strong spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared beside Lin An.

Used to Hei Di and the others delivering goods to his door without him having to lift a finger, Lin An's gaze suddenly tightened, realizing that something might have gone wrong on Hei Di's side.

As expected.

Just as Lin An quickly took out a raw stone resembling a detector, a voice from Hei Di suddenly rang out.

"Lin Emperor!"

"We've tracked down a Star‑Destroying Level! They're already trapped by me!"

"Please take action!"
